Mueller
don't like it...looks like something Dodge would make for some reason.....
eeyore
Its a Ferarri front end, with Dodge Magnum glass, finishing off in 350Z

How's about a 4-door 911?
Mueller
what Porsche needs to do is come up with an "original" design....quit trying to make every damn new model look like a 911 in one fashion or another............
Hawktel
I'd like a 4 door porsche. But Mueller is right, the need to just cut loose on the styling, and go for something way different.

They should make something that a 4 door midengined ride. I think it would be very tough, but if its easy let Audi, or VW do it.

Porsche needs to make a car that "young people can afford". I think they are getting so far out there that they are losing their fan base. I don't see why they can't go after the Audi TT/BMW Z3/Nissan 300Z market. And yes, I agree, they can't make everything look like a 911. These designs are getting less and less appealing. Perhaps one day, they will decide to build a "new" road car in the spirit of the 356 or early 911. When Porsches were Porsches.

I thought that was the intent for the Boxster huh.gif

It definitely was the intent for the 914 back in the day clap56.gif

Yeah I agree it is a little "cab-forewardy" looking up front.
GTeener
Minivan anyone?
GTeener
Suppose this could happen, but why? Cuz Hummer is doing it?
Andyrew
Thats a bunch of photoshop.



The real problem is that all the manufacturers are hitting the wind tunnel.. and coming out with things that all look exactly the same. The one's that are different are the one's that get recognised....
GTeener
Rinspeed's got a tough look for the Cayenne but it isn't affordable for the young and wannabe hipsters.

Yeah, Dodge has no idea about how to go fast and handle too....

<_<

The Dodge Tomahawk....V10 Viper motor in a four wheeled bike....top speed estimated at 400 mph...if you could hold on.

Yeah, Dodge...ick. That wagon looks just like the hemi wagon in the picture too...ick-ick.

IMHO, they need to hire Italdesign right away
